- The Illinois State Supreme Court ruled on Friday that a strict assault weapons ban, enacted after the Highland Park shooting, is constitutional.
- The court's decision came in response to a lawsuit challenging the ban's compliance with the equal protections clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
- The court overturned a lower court's ruling and determined that the ban does not violate the equal protections clause.
- The plaintiffs explicitly waived any separate claim that the restrictions unlawfully infringe upon the second amendment.
